I'm writing in regards to the renaming of two streets in the~Meadows
Addition. My original request of May 5, 1983, is attached for your
information.
It was my understanding that the City Council voted to change the
street names at the May 10, 1983, meeting. It has recently come to
my attention that those names may have been rejected and that a
suggestion for new names from me has been requested.
I recommend the names of Leslie Lane & Deann Drive be considered.
Due to the rapid development of that area, these changes need to be
made as soon as possible.
Please advise me as to the status of this project.
Sincerely,
Ginger Ware
Postmaster

Following is my suggestion for renaming the streets in the Meadows Addition.
I suggest Lansdowne Circle begin at street number 817 and end with street
number 165 as indicated on attachment. This would eliminate the need for
any residents to change their address.
I suggest that Lansdowne Circle East (beginning with number 144 as shown
and ending with number 100) be renamed Plumlee Drive.
I suggest that Lansdowne St. (821 to end) be renamed Lee Drive.
Your suggestions or changes in the new names are welcome. I thought it
would be appropriate to name these streets in honor of citizens who have
made an outstanding'contribution to our city.
Sincerely,
Postmaster

Ron,
The reason for the request to rename these streets was explaine~ in an
earlier memo to the City. As you will note on attachment, Lansdowne
Circle East and West are running parallel to each other. The num0ers
are tile same.
I feel the same name used three times will be detrimental to all city
services as well as the mail delivery. We are already receiving
correspondence to customers on Lansdowne Circle West addressed to
10t Lansdowne. I believe a potentially dangerous situation could
exist in the event o£ a medical emergency or fire. It is very common
for residents to leave of the "circle" or other street desigmation
when giving out their address. I think this would be particularly
true in an emergency situation. Having the designations "Circle West"
and "Circle Fast" further complicates the situation.
I have highlighted the area in yellow on Lansdowne Circle West
where we alrea~ have residents. (Red marking indicates occupied lo~).
No one has moved in on Lansdowne Circle Fast or Lansdowne St. at this]
time. However, action should be taken immediately because two houses
are nearing completion on Lansdowne St.
I am requesting on future developments that the Postal Service be
contacted to review and mako recommendations on the names given new
streets before final approval is gran!,:~ !~ ~ , ~o~:,~oper. This]
request was made in July 7, 1981, and was granted. However, it was
never fully implemented. I believe this practice would help to
eliminate situations such as the Lansdowne name being overused.
There are also several other streets having very close similarities
in other areas of the city.
Your consideration and early attention to this matter will be greatly
appreciated.
